Yoga for Children
by Swati & Rajiv Chanchani
The authors of this book have written a book about yoga for children that is authoritative and appealing, informative and enjoyable. They trace the roots of Yoga in mythology and legend, and include many stories and tales bringing out the quality of, and inspiration for, the postures. They link the postures to the natural world. The universal moral and ethical values implicit in the practice of Yoga are emphasized. Connections are made between geometrical forms and the postures, to help children relate to what are otherwise abstract concepts .
Each Yoga posture is explained through photographs, drawings, stories and detailed instructions with stick figures illustrating several stages in performing the pose. Important "dos and donŐts" and the benefits of each pose are also given.
The highlight of the book is a detailed section meant for parents and teachers with guidance on keeping children practicing Yoga creatively, enjoyably and safely.
